Multi-platinum singer/songwriter Kip Moore released today his anticipated sixth studio album “Solitary Tracks”, available everywhere through Virgin Music Group. His biggest and most ambitious record to date, “Solitary Tracks” features 23 songs split over four sides, a resonant opus from beginning to end, and a testament to Moore’s wanderlust drive to pave his own path and explore new horizons.

Moore also shared the official video for the album’s title track “Solitary Tracks.” A stirring vignette that follows an aspiring singer as she discovers her voice and emerges into the spotlight, “Solitary Tracks” embodies the song’s exploration of a born-outsider’s drive that rises into a cathartic roots-rock anthem.

Additional highlights from “Solitary Tracks” include the “swaggering” (Billboard) “Bad Spot,” The Clash and The Ramones inspired “Around You,” the “powerful guitar-driven anthem” (Country Now) “Live Here to Work,” the “gritty, rough, and rowdy” (Whiskey Riff) “Learning As I Go,” as well as the “heartfelt anthem” (All Country News) “Flowers in December” and the slow-burning track “Wildfire.”

There are many paths to follow in an artistic career, but for Kip Moore, the choice has always been a clear “forward,” even if he has to go it alone. With “Solitary Tracks”, his internal compass is stronger than ever. Harboring an established reputation as a soulful troubadour with solid country roots and a global platform, Kip has emerged as one of only a few country artists who’s international footprint is just as deep as his stateside base, built by years of slow, painstaking effort and tireless touring, with fans latching on to a creative force of nature who’ll never sell his soul. And now, “Solitary Tracks” takes them deeper into the creative wild.

Embracing his lifelong drive to break new ground, “Solitary Tracks” is like nothing Moore has ever done. It’s an album of intensity on all levels – vocally, lyrically, and sonically – as Moore focuses his incisive pen inward. Co-produced by Moore with Jaren Johnston and additional production by Oscar Charles and Jay Joyce, its first half marks a deep-feeling acknowledgement of his solitary place, while its second part is the start of a new phase. Taken together, they wrap a defiant sense of personal growth in a raw, roots-and-soul package. Freed up by a new, globally minded label partner in Virgin Music Group, Kip is once again in a position to trust his gut.

This spring, Moore will kick off his Solitary Tracks World Tour, which will take him across Canada, Europe, and the UK. It’ll be followed by a run of US tour dates over the summer with Billy Currington.

“Intensely personal”

• Rolling Stone

“Restless and rowdy, and at times just pure rock ‘n’ roll fun, the set is a direct result of a few

transformative years…Solitary Tracks doesn’t just crackle, it cooks.”

• Esquire

“Moore officially revealed his next career chapter – and it’s a rich one.”

• American Songwriter

“This fellow is building an overseas career that’s stronger than any of his peers.”

• Music Row

“The 23 songs promise to fire an arrow at the heart of his target audience, a group that’s just a little

left-of-mainstream. His refusal to adjust his aim is what’s made him so fascinating.”

• Taste of Country

“Solitary Tracks promises to be a collection unlike anything we have seen from the multi-platinum singer/songwriter before.”

• Country Now

Award winning country-pop act, Hayley Jensen, is set to light up the airwaves once again with her brand-new single ‘Dirt Rich’, an upbeat, feel-good country-pop anthem about the simple things in life that money can’t buy.

Co-written with fellow country-pop act Melanie Dyer and Nolan Wynne (who co-wrote James Johnston’s mega hits ‘Small Town’ and ‘Same Songs’), ‘Dirt Rich’ is a reminder that the best things in life are free, and that true wealth isn’t measured in dollars, but in the richness of community, the beauty in nature, and a life well-lived.

Heart-felt lyrics, paired with the anthemic, foot-stomping production by award-winning duo, MSquared, make ‘Dirt Rich’ a song that resonates deeply, whether you hail from the country or simply appreciate its timeless values.

“Dirt Rich is about growing up and living in the country, where we find treasure in things that others might overlook, and that’s what makes us feel rich. It’s looking up at the beautiful night sky, free from the city lights, and feeling immense gratitude and wonder. It’s being resourceful with what you have and taking pride in the craftsmanship of a job well done, not in the material value. It’s in a moment of crisis, where people come together to help one another without an expectation of something in return. It’s family & a tight night community where everyone has each other’s back. That’s what it means to be ‘Dirt Rich’. It’s worth more than gold & proof that the best things in life are free.” – says Hayley.

‘Dirt Rich’ follows the success of Jensen’s hit singles, ‘Outskirts’ & ‘Stomping Ground’, which have amassed over 1M streams across digital platforms. Both garnered extensive airplay across Australia’s major commercial country radio networks, with ‘Outskirts’ hitting #3 on the CountryTown Official Radio Charts, and both soaring in CMT Australia’s Official Top 30.

Jensen took away 2 x Independent Country Music Awards for ‘Single’ and ‘Video of the Year’ in 2025, and ‘Most Popular Female Artist’in 2024. She was also a Finalist in both the 2022 & 2023 Golden Guitar Awards for ‘Female Artist of the Year’ following the success of her #1 ARIA Country Album, ‘Breakin’ Hearts’.

Hayley first found fame as a Top 4 Finalist on the second season of Australian Idol and later made a ‘chair-turning’ return on The Voice in Team Kylie Minogue. No stranger to the small screen, she also performed ‘True Blue ‘as part of Australia Day Live on ABC.

Known for her powerhouse vocals, Hayley is one of the most exciting live acts in the country. She’s toured extensively with her own headline shows and enjoyed top billing at numerous festivals, including headlining the main stage of Tamworth Country Music Festival in 2023.

Hayley is excited to be the feature artist for PBR Australia in 2025 and will also be hitting the road March – May 2025 to celebrate the release of ‘Dirt Rich’ with a headline tour of NSW & VIC – on sale now.

Shanleigh Rose – Sings of Heartbreak

And A Not So Friendly Love In Her Latest Single “We’re Not Friends”

In a multiplicity of breakup anthems, Shanleigh Rose’s “We’re Not Friends” makes its mark, capturing the hostile aftermath following the end of a not-so-friendly young love. A little bit country, a little bit pop, and just a touch of livid. ‘We’re Not Friends’ is the catchy reminder you need that your ex is NOT your friend. “Cause friends don’t lie and lead you on.”

Shanleigh Rose is truly establishing herself in the music industry. Her new single, “We’re Not Friends,” will resonate with anyone who has experienced the fallout of a tumultuous relationship. The song explores the emotional landscape of post-breakup hostility,

blending elements of country and pop with a raw and intense edge.

This powerful anthem reminds us that not all relationships need to transition into friendships. With poignant lyrics such as “Cause friends don’t lie and lead you on,” Shanleigh Rose effectively captures the essence of her message with compelling honesty.
“Often, people think they can treat you carelessly and have the audacity to try and call you a friend afterwards. In my case, this someone was an ex. I’ve learnt that self-respect and knowing what’s best for you are so much more important than letting your emotions allow the wrong kind of people to stay in your life.” Mention Shanleigh

The realisation only came after Shanleigh had finished penning the song. It was a hard lesson to learn, but I got a pretty cool song out of it. Shanleigh hopes “We’re Not Friends” will empower others to recognise their self-worth and determine who can call themself a friend.

Heartfelt country storyteller Clancy Pye today delivers an emotionally charged new single, ‘Days Like This’ – a deeply personal and moving reflection on love, loss, and the way special milestones can magnify the absence of those we’ve lost.

Penned on the first day of a new school year, ‘Days Like This’ was inspired by a poignant moment she witnessed on social media – a photo of children who had recently lost their father, standing on their front doorstep in their school uniforms. While most families were celebrating the start of a new chapter, Clancy was struck by the heartbreaking reality that for some, these milestones serve as a reminder of the people who are no longer there to share them.

“This song came about as a reflection on real-life loss,”Clancy shares. “It explores how those special days that we associate with being full of joy and happiness can feel very different when the people we love most are no longer here to celebrate them with us.”

Produced by acclaimed country music producer Sean Rudd at The Vault Studios, whose credits include Luke O’Shea and Lyn Bowtell, ‘Days Like This’ was brought to life in the studio with an incredible lineup of musicians, including Clancy’s brother Mickey Pye on guitars and Pete Drummond on drums.

“Bringing this song to life in the studio with Sean, Mickey, and Pete was really special,” Clancy says. “We all shared a similar vision for where we wanted this song to go, and elevating the powerful emotions in the lyrics was at the forefront of our minds. As a songwriter and musician, making people feel something when they hear a song you’ve created is what we’re always striving for.”

Complementing the single is a powerful and raw music video, directed by David Smyth of The Studio Door Creative and filmed inside Emmaville Cottage in Orange, NSW. The video incorporates home video footage from a real-life family who experienced a similar heartbreaking loss – Clancy’s former primary school teacher, who passed away at just 36, leaving behind a wife and two young children.

“We wanted to create something raw, authentic, and emotional,”Clancy explains. “There were so many unplanned yet special moments where lyrics I was singing were being played out on the walls behind me. It felt really special to incorporate his story into the video and pay tribute to him in some small way.”

Raised on a farm in Oberon (NSW) surrounded by a musical family, Clancy grew up with country music in her blood. She cut her teeth playing in bars and has since grown a large and dedicated fanbase drawn to her captivating songs and poignant songwriting.

With half a million streams to date and performances at festivals across Australia and internationally, Clancy Pye is quickly cementing herself as a powerful storyteller in Australian country music. She’s appeared twice as a finalist in the prestigious Toyota Star Maker Grand Final, rocked the Gympie Music Muster, CMC Rocks and CMA Fest (Nashville) and Big Valley Jamboree (Canada) stages as a guitarist for the likes of Mickey Pye and Kaylee Bell, and recently opened a string of shows for Tania Kernaghan and Jason Owen.

With ‘Days Like This’, Clancy Pye delivers a stirring reminder of music’s power to heal, connect, and tell the stories that words alone cannot. With more music on the way and a debut album on the horizon, Clancy Pye is an artist to watch – one whose songs don’t just play – but truly leave a mark.
